Storm Warning!

Submission for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam - Theme: Countdown

After hundreds of false alarms, there's an actual tornado on the horizon. Time to get your lazy ass off the couch and get what matters most to you before heading down to the bunker... like beer. All while racing the clock before the tornado takes out your house.

Warning: contains tornado wind noises, tornado sirens, and lightning strobe effects, if this triggers you please turn off sound via the main menu settings button or mute computer audio before pressing start.

Instructions:

Once the preparation list has been picked up, items with an underscore signify they are required. There is also a countdown in the top right that may be hidden by itch overlays. Go fullscreen if possible. 

• WASD - Movement
• E - interact/pickup
• SPC - jump
• Mouse - Look around
• ESC (x2) - to pause (don't ask me why it needs two presses)

Notes:

- I'm aware of the audio buzzing, but didn't have enough time to troubleshoot why it is broken on Itch.

- Might take a while to load on first boot, there's a lot of unused assets from Kenney's kits that I didn't have time to clean up.

Asset Recognition:

- Kenney's FPS Starter Pack for the Player controller. Shooter parts stripped out.
